Jim Clifton, the Chairman and CEO of Gallup, says that the percentage of
Americans that are employed full-time has been hovering near record
lows since the end of the last recession. But most Americans don’t
realize this because the official unemployment numbers are extremely
misleading.

In fact, Clifton says that the official 5.6 percent
unemployment rate is a “big lie”. Gallup regularly tracks the
percentage of U.S. adults that are employed for 30 or more hours per
week, and it is currently at 44.2 percent. It has been hovering between
42 percent and 45 percent since the end of 2009. This is extremely
low.

As I discussed the other day, there are 8.69 million Americans that are considered to be “officially unemployed” at this point. But there are another 92.90 million Americans
that are considered to be “not in the labor force”. Millions upon
millions of those Americans would work if they could. Overall, there
are 101 million U.S. adults that do not have a job right now. But you
won’t hear that number being discussed by the mainstream media, because
it would make Barack Obama look really bad.

Well, it seems Minnesota’s largest
school district is discussing screening high school students for
depression and anxiety in the classroom.

“As part of a state grant to improve mental health services,” notes this CBS Minnesota,
“Anoka-Hennepin schools could offer a screening as soon as next fall.
Dr. Nita Kumar, a mental-health consultant for the district, said Friday
that the idea is to get students to talk about something they may hide
from their parents or not even understand what is happening.”

To assist in determining the potential for depression, 10th-graders
will be given the PHQ9 form, the same form “many doctors’ offices
provide.” The form can be seen here.
It asks nine questions about the student’s emotional state for which
answers can range from “not at all” to “nearly every day.”

“Over the
last 2 weeks,” the questionnaire prompts, “how often have you been
bothered by any of the following problems?” The listed problems
include such vague and all-encompassing considerations as: “Little
interest or pleasure in doing things.” “Feeling tired or having little
energy.” “Poor appetite or overeating.” “Feeling bad about yourself –
or that you are a failure or have let yourself or your family down.”

As Islamic State terrorists and sympathizers have stepped up their
highly publicized killings in recent months non-Muslims around the world
have called for followers of Islam to step up against the extreme
elements in their religion. To be sure, countries like Jordan have been
fighting the terrorist group and it has even been rumored that King
Abdullah II will soon be personally leading airstrikes after the brutal execution of a Jordanian pilot.

In general, however, it is widely perceived that the Muslim community
has been too reserved in publicly denouncing the violence wrought by
radical Islamic extremists.

But that may now be changing. After thousands of deaths and mass
murders some Muslims have finally had enough and they are taking up arms
to eliminate what many see as an affront to Islam. The father of
Jordanian pilot Moath al-Kasabeh says that the Islamic state has
“violated the rules of war in Islam” and “even humanity disowns them.”
King Abdullah noted that his country will continue airstrikes and other operations against ISIS “until we eliminate them.”

The war in the middle east is real and up until this point there has
not been any significant push-back from local populations. But people
are now realizing that an extremist theocracy such as that being
implemented under Islamic State laws is dangerous and they are starting
to fight back.

During a National Press Club address on
how to combat Islamists, Admiral James A. "Ace" Lyons (U.S. Navy,
Ret.), former Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Pacific Fleet, said that under
the administration of Barack Obama, the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated all of the National Security Agencies of the United States.

The 87-year-old, four star Admiral, who served the United States in
the military branch of the Navy, told the National Press Club that "the
transformation of America has been in full swing ever since 2008."

"President Obama's 'no show' was an embarrassment for all Americans,"
he continued. "But it also was a signal to the Islamic jihadis. It's
one of many signals he sent over the years while he was in office."

My friend Karin accidently caught this Bobcat today in a coyote set. The

Columbia University may be compelling students in the next month to
complete a sexual assault education program or else lose the ability to
register for classes or even receive their diploma, according to the Columbia Spectator.

The initiative will reportedly be announced next week, but has been
leaked by several of the school’s undergraduate residential advisers,
who have already been briefed on the program.

Students will have a host of options for how to complete the
requirement, including attending an hour-long workshop, watching and
discussing a series of short films on the matter or even crafting works
of art and poetry to engage with the topic. They will be expected to
have complied with the school’s demand by March 13, just one month
following its announcement.

"The Crusades could more accurately be described as a limited, belated
and, in the last analysis, ineffectual response to the jihad -- a failed
attempt to recover by a Christian holy war what had been lost to a
Muslim holy war," writes Bernard Lewis, the greatest living
English-language historian of Islam.

The Native American tribe leading the
movement to change the name of the Washington Redskins plans to open a
$20 million casino that pays homage to the work of L. Frank Baum, who
was born in this village outside Syracuse and later wrote “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.”

Just
one problem with the Oneida Indian Nation’s Yellow Brick Road Casino: A
decade before Baum wrote one of this country’s most celebrated
children’s tales, he campaigned for a Native American genocide.

The ground beneath NBC anchor Brian Williams’ feet grew more unstable on Thursday, as the New York Post reports
NBC News icon Tom Brokaw is calling for Williams to be fired after he
was forced to recant a phony story about taking fire in Iraq that he’s
been telling for years.

NBC’s most revered journalist is furious that Brian
Williams is still in the anchor chair after he sheepishly admitted he
hadn’t traveled on a helicopter hit by enemy fire.

“Brokaw wants Williams’ head on a platter,” an NBC source said. “He
is making a lot of noise at NBC that a lesser journalist or producer
would have been immediately fired or suspended for a false report.”

Before you break out your pom-poms and start rooting for Brokaw as
the champion of truth, however, consider that Brokaw has
reportedly known Williams’ story was bunk for years but kept quiet until now, aside from a bit of behind-the-scenes grumbling:

Perhaps nowhere else is the term “safety in numbers” more apt than in
the wild. Very few animals, from the cunning coyote to the massive
mound of muscle that is a grizzly bear, will attack groups of humans
without provocation. However, a pipeline crew operating 55 miles south
of Grande Prairie, Alberta found out that there are exceptions to that
“rule.” According to the Edmonton Journal,
a mountain lion stalked and ambushed a crew of pipeline workers in a
forested area on Friday, inflicting serious but non-life threatening
injuries upon two men.

Stephen Campbell, 31, one of the victims, told Global News that it was the most terrifying experience of his life.

“I felt a weight on my back and I thought, initially, one of the boys
was coming around to horse around,” Campbell said. “Then I felt the
cougar bite into my skull and sink its claws into the sides of my face.”

There has been a big flap recently in Charlottesville, Virginia over
Confederate statues being taken down. It goes without saying that this
is yet one more exercise in Marxist Cultural Genocide in the South, yet
many of our people do not seem to be aware of what is being done to them
and their culture. This is not just a happenstance occurrence, it is
part of a planned agenda to strip the South of its culture, history, and
heritage and to replace all these with some sort of Marxist monstrosity
parading as “history” that almost no native Virginian would ever
recognize. And if they manage to pull it off your grandchildren will not
know from whence they came.

Well-known Western fiction writer Louis L’Amour made a prescient statement in one of his books To The Far Blue Mountains.
He said: “We must not lose touch with what we were, or what we had
been, nor must we allow the well of our history to dry up, for a child
without tradition is a child crippled before the world.” Mr. L’Amour,
without realizing it, was accurately describing what the Marxist
mentalities in our day (and before) are trying to do to our children—to
make them cripples before the entire world—a people with no real
knowledge of our history, where we came from or what we should be doing
or why. This is the agenda of Marxist Cultural Genocide in the American
Southland—the crippling of future generations—and if we don’t begin to
wake up and realize who is doing this and why, they may well be able to
pull it off while we futilely oppose them for the wrong reasons and on
the wrong track.

Remembrance

Execution of Colonel Ho Ngoc CanLast words: "If I won the war, I would not condemn you as you have condemned me.I would not humiliate you as you have humiliated me.I would not ask you questions that you asked me.I fought for the freedom of my people.I have merit and I am not guilty.No one can convict me.History will criticize you as my Communist enemy.You want to kill me, then kill me.Do not blindfold me.Down with the Communists.Long live the Republic of Viet Nam !"

Colonel CraigMandeville:

“They wanted the people to see that he was dead,” said Craig Mandeville, an American adviser to the South Vietnamese army who fought side by side with Can. “He was believed to be some sort of invincible guy. The North Vietnamese thought that, too, and I even thought that when I fought with him.”

“He said, ‘OK, the country’s fallen, but by God we’re still South Vietnamese and we’re free,’ ” Mandeville recalled. “So he went down to Chuong Tien province and rounded up all these soldiers down there to form a Free Vietnam.”

Col. Can didn’t live long after that, but the legacy of his struggle lives on.

=============================
My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.
